Morning

Begin your day with breakfast at the hotel, overlooking the River Nore and Kilkenny Castle. Step outside and walk directly to Kilkenny Castle (2–3 minutes). Take time to explore the restored interiors and stroll through the castle parklands.

From there, join the Medieval Mile, just a few minutes from the hotel. Walk along High Street, taking in historic buildings, small galleries and cafés. Continue to St. Mary’s Medieval Mile Museum for an engaging introduction to the city’s history.

Midday

Stop for lunch at a café along the Medieval Mile or return briefly to the hotel for a relaxed bite in the Riverview Bar & Bistro.

Afternoon

Walk to St. Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower (10–12 minutes / approx. 900m). Climb the tower for panoramic views of Kilkenny. On your return, visit Rothe House and Garden (8–10 minutes from the hotel), a peaceful heritage site with enclosed gardens.

Evening

Head back to the River Court Hotel to refresh. Enjoy dinner in the hotel restaurant or step out again for a short evening walk along the river, with views of the illuminated castle.
